This video is an introduction to the testing and verification of radial circuits.


The dead tests on a circuit will confirm that we have cable continuity, the correct polarity and switching arrangements and that the conductors are adequately protected by insulation to prevent unwanted shorts and other electric shock hazards.


The tests that are shown form the foundation of electrical circuit testing and, understanding these is essential in ensuring the safety of users of the installation.


This is explained in clear and easy to understand terms and the video will help to put the different tests into the proper context.
